General information on cooking
DANGER
Risk of fire by overheated oil!
When you heat oil, do not leave it
unattended.
Never try to extinguish the fire
with water!
When oil has caught
fire, immediately cover the pot or
pan with a lid. Switch off the hob if
safe to do so and phone the fire
service.
• Ensure handles of pans cannot
accidentally be caught or knocked and
do not get hot by adjacent heating
zones.
Cooking with gas
• The size of the pan and the size of the
gas flame should match each other.
Adjust the gas flames so that they do
not go beyond the bottom of the pan
always place the pan onto the pan
support in a central position.
